The battlefield was now nothing more than a heap of dust and scrap metal. In the middle of the giant, ever-expanding crater, Hana's body looked pitiful. Fresh blood began to flow from the corners of her lips, her ears, and even the pores of her skin. The energy pressure from the God of Curses was too immense; the idol's smooth skin began to crack, leaving red trails that contrasted sharply with the black patterns on her body.
Despite her body being broken and drenched in blood, the God of Curses within her only laughed maniacally. She raised her right hand, forming a hand symbol she called the key to destruction.
"Forbidden Technique: Mahon!"
Instantly, the gravity around Hana surged wildly. The atmosphere seemed forced to solidify into transparent blades capable of cutting molecules. The buildings that were previously floating were now crushed into the smallest shards, merging with the blood spurting from Hana's body to create a blackish-red vortex of death.
In front of her, the white-haired Teacher still stood in mid-air with an intimidating calmness. He saw Hana's worsening physical condition, but he knew there was no choice other than to suppress that power right now.
"You're forcing me to get serious, aren't you?" the Teacher whispered behind his mask.
He moved both hands with perfect synchronization. His right hand formed the Sinze symbol, while his left hand locked into the Arkan symbol. Two ancient techniques that had not been seen in the last hundred years were now uniting.
"Combined Technique: Sinze-Arkan: Silent Prison!"
Oooommm—
A low humming sound echoed throughout the city. From the Sinze symbol, a wave of blue energy emerged, neutralizing all the air pressure from the Mahon technique. Meanwhile, from the Arkan symbol, chains of light crawled through the air, locking every gravitational particle that Hana tried to manipulate.
BOOM!
The brawl broke out again on an even more terrifying scale. Hana lunged, swinging her fists coated in Mahon, creating vacuum explosions every time she struck. Her bleeding body moved at a speed that split sound, but the Teacher met her with the absolute defense of the Sinze and Arkan combination.
Hana's blood splattered onto the Teacher's black cloak as they traded blows. Every time their fists met, an energy clash occurred that scorched the oxygen around them.
BAM! BAM! PLAK!
Hana launched a spinning kick coated in Mahon's gravitational pressure, but the Teacher caught the leg with a hand strengthened by the Arkan technique, then slammed his palm—forming the Sinze symbol—directly into Hana's chest.
DUARRR!
Hana was sent flying against a remaining concrete pillar, blood spraying from her mouth as her body collided once again with the hard object. The God of Curses within seemed to be losing patience because the vessel he was using had almost reached the limit of total destruction. Her bones began to crack, and her breath sounded like the scraping of scrap metal.
"Don't be arrogant, Human!" Hana screamed with a voice raspy from blood. She formed the Mahon symbol once more, this time with all her remaining cursed energy.
However, the Teacher was already in front of her in the blink of an eye. Without a word, the hands forming Sinze and Arkan now glowed intensely bright, ready to deliver the finishing blow that would seal the God back into the darkness.
The chapter closes with the sight of Hana's blood-soaked body, laughing amidst the pain, while the Teacher launches his final attack that cleaves the remnants of reality between them.
